Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston is sharing his characteristically humble thoughts about The New York Times recently naming Breaking Bad as the top TV series of the 21st century yet.
As reported by People magazine, the 70-year-old actor was recently asked about the unique honor, with Breaking Bad topping other influential series like The Wire, Mad Men and Game of Thrones to take home the newspaper’s top spot on the list.
“I’m exceedingly proud of that,” Cranston said. “That’s something that’s voted on. That’s bestowed upon us as the collective who had something to do with that show.”
Among the most influential TV series of the past 20 years, Breaking Bad famously starred Cranston as Walter White, an ordinary high school science teacher who becomes a ruthless drug lord after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Debuting on AMC in 2008, the series came to an official conclusion in 2013.
Over the course of the series, Cranston and his fellow cast and crew on the show won a myriad of prestigious accolades, winning 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes and two Peabody Awards, among many others.
For his central role in the series, Cranston personally won four Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
“Breaking Bad was full of technical problem-solving — that was the chemical engine that fueled the ever-accelerating plot,” the newspaper wrote. “But what made the show incomparable was its humanistic moral investigation, centered on how Walter, a cancer-stricken nebbish with medical bills, descended into villainy. (Or, maybe, how the thrill and glory of criminal success uncloaked the villain always within him.)”
“Exquisitely performed, meticulously shot, Breaking Bad grew from its nerd-criminal premise into a sweeping American story of greed and hubris,” NYT continued. “Yes, there was a science to the show’s thrills and heartbreak. But above all, there was art.”
